Jasper Hill Eligo

Eligo is named for a nearby lake, is the first cheese Jasper Hill Creamery has developed to suit the expertly crafted goat milk coming from their partners at Bridgman Hill Farm. Small ruminants like goats and sheep have always been in the long-term vision for Jasper Hill. Eligo’s flavors bring out the best in both the cow and goat's milk types; buttery richness from the cow milk carries a soft, white pepper spice note and goat aromas. A densely creamy texture is a bit softer beneath the rosy-orange washed rind, where the flavors are more pronounced. Eligo’s goat aromas and subtle earthiness from the rind make it a great match for skin contact or full-bodied white wines. Preserved lemon, mild green olives, and toasted almonds make for nice accompaniments.
